Stunning new poetry collection sculpted or (better yet) hammered out of the inmost recesses of a first time published poet against a back story of an American in Moscow slowly but surely transforming from a wide-eyed investor lawyer/banker searching for his roots to drinking vodka, smoking cigarettes, and reading and writing poetry - in other words toward becoming thoroughly Russian despite his deep American roots.

Naces, creces, amas, te rompen, aprendes y no mueres hasta que alguien deja de quererte. Estos poemas son la historia de Ella, la que fue callada porque sus gritos resonaban demasiado alto. Ella, que dejó de ser suya porque quien debía liberar su sonrisa, la acabó enjaulando y aplastando contra el asfalto. Sola, fue capaz de levantarse, de mirar a la cara a su pasado y decirle: «No me has vencido, soy indestructible». Ahora que ya bailas, el mundo entero va a quedarse a tus pies y donde antes había silencio ahora habrá música. La tuya. Atrévete a escucharla.
